How do we know that bees were around when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth? The main evidence comes from fossils – the mineralized remains of long-dead organisms.
A ‘game-changing’ fossil pterosaur suggests these species could easily fly between continents, helping to explain why similar specimens have been found all over the world.

Paleontologists created an evolutionary map of how croc body size changed over the last 200 million years – with some interesting implications for today’s species.
Given that we know humans moved across these landscapes, we wondered whether there might also be evidence of other forms of human activity on these surfaces of sand.
These trackways preserve an incredibly brief moment in time. More importantly, they tell us about ancient climates, and how turtle breeding ranges have changed over the millenia
The more we know about the animals that lived during this time, the more we can start to comprehend how species react and recover after an extinction event.
